I don't know if this will be harder or not... If everyone would please refrain from using the Internet to research, that'd be great. Part of what took a while was having to verify the things I'd never heard of and determine if "The" was actually part of some of them.

The Starting Letter is "K".

Since I was late getting this out - we'll go until Next Wednesday 12am GMT which is Tuesday 7pm EDT.

Results.... (Finally)

Something you'd see inside a car - Kleenex box (Mooseman 1); kissing (EricBess 1); Killer Fuzzy Dice (Ransac 0); kids (Rokapoke, Spiderman 0); Ketchup Packet (Darthferret 1)
Killer does not count - it's a non-specific adjective
Professional Sports Team - Knicks (Mooseman 1); Kansas City Chiefs (EricBess 1); Kansas City Royals (Ransac 1); Kixx, Philadelphia (Rokapoke 1); Kansas City Comets (Darthferret 1)
Since every Kansas City answer was different, they all counted... strange "Kismet' there... :)
Historical Person (Dead) - Keller, Helen (Mooseman, Darthferret 0); Kennedy, Jacqueline (EricBess 1); King George (Ransac 1); Kit Carson (Rokapoke 1)
Current World Leader - Kadafi (Mooseman, EricBess, Rokapoke 0); Kim Jong-il (Ransac, Darthferret 0)
Tough Category without the Internet I suppose...
Famous Entertainer (Not a Musician or Actor/Actress) - Knievel, Evel (Mooseman 1); Knoxville, Johnny (EricBess 1); "the King", Jerry Lawler (Ransac 1); Kangaroo, Captain (Rokapoke 1); Kipling, Rugyard (Darthferret 0)
I can't find a reference to a Rugyard Kipling, and Rudyard Kipling is an author, not really an entertainer...
US College or University - Kent St (Mooseman 1); Knox College (EricBess 1); Knoxville, University of Tennessee at (Ransac 1); King's College (Rokapoke 1); Kansas State University (Darthferret 1)
College/University Major - Kinetics (Mooseman, Darthferret 0); Korean (EricBess 1); Kinesiology (Ransac, Rokapoke 0)
Something you'd see inside an airplane - knees (Mooseman 1); Kids (EricBess, Ransac, Darthferret 0); Kitchenette (Rokapoke 1)
Card or Board Game - Kerplunk (Mooseman 1); Kings & Things* (EricBess 1); Klondike Solitaire (Rokapoke 1); King in the Corner (Darthferret 1)
* = a lot of things, many of which start with K... but the official title is Kings & Things*
Vegetable - Kale (Mooseman, Rokapoke, Darthferret 0)
Outdoor Recreational Activity - kite flying (Mooseman, Rokapoke 0); Kick the Can (EricBess, Darthferret 0); Killing ants w/ a magnifying glass (Ransac 1)
Title of a Book - King Kull (Mooseman 2); The Ku Klux Klan in America (EricBess 3); King James Bible (Ransac 1); The Ketchup Kid (Rokapoke 2); Kendermore (Darthferret 1)

A lot different w/o research... but still plenty of good answers.

Mooseman: 8
Rokapoke: 8
Ransac: 6
DarthFerret: 5
Spiderman: 0

I still think I should get infinite points for my board game. Just because they abbeviated the name isn't my fault ;) It is advertised as "The board game with everything"

It's a board game, not a RPG... so it only has what it includes on the cards...

Which cannot be infinite... And the number of words in the english language which start with K is a finite number, so even then it'd be somewhat less than infinity...

I agree that SG is no fun w/ lawyers... :) But then, neither are most games.
